In honour of Ghana’s independence, celebrities rocked kente clothing which comes in a range of vibrant colours and patterns.
Actress Nana Ama McBrown, Joselyn Dumas, and Naa Ashorkor shared a group picture of themselves wearing black outfits, which could pass for the black star in the flag.

Overall, Ghana’s Independence Day was a celebration of not just the country’s independence, but also its rich cultural heritage.
Through their clothing choices, celebrities were able to showcase the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian fashion while expressing their patriotism and hope for the future.
